Autho Force

Often time power can be understood as control of material resources and wealth, control of politics and the institutions that make up society (Hutchison,2015). It is important to recognize and identify the core concepts of power or lack of power with individuals in society. The conflict theory allows examination within the text of those who hold power and lack power. The end result of power to hold dominance over another person, group, or society. As a result of the control and power is causes those who lack power to be devalued or alienated from a setting or even society (Hutchinson, 2015).

Many see jealousy, peer-pressure, and genocide to be ways for individuals to learn and understand. Although, these actions only lead to negative outcomes such as common occurrences in society. These acts are very hard to be avoided by many, indeed, there are ways in which individuals are able to escape these realities and these ways include large amounts of self confidence and even respect for others. To conclude, individuals grow as they learn, thus creating many common attributes in society, although, these prevalent actions are capable of either improving another or destroying as a

‘The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse’-Edmund Burke. Montana 1948, written by Larry Watson, is about the troublesome journey the Hayden family had during the late 1940’s. The plot from the text expresses the idea of power. By comprehending the idea, the reader was able to learn how much of an impact a powerful person can have on a powerless person, too much power can lead to disaster to their loved ones and even to themselves and no matter how much power a person has, someday, that person will lose the power they one once had.

In conclusion, a person must go through a series of step/stages to reach “self-actualization.” They must achieve his/his “safety” and “physiological” needs “(basic needs).” “Esteem” and “belongingness and love” needs “(psychological needs)” to reach the stage of “self-actualization.” Psychological theories helps us better understand why a character does what he/she did. Using the psychological theory can help people reach the stage of self-actualization. Although, some may not reach this stage due to natural or un-natural

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and laws of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation”.

Force can be defined as any touching of another person in order to accomplish a legal justification. If a person is touched without any legal justification, the officer can be held liable civilly and criminally. Force by security can either be “hands on” or “hands off.” Hands on approaches often occur when an officer has to break up a fight, or when making an arrest. The officer uses certain defensive techniques to subdue the assailant, hand cuffs, OC sprays, and tasers are often used for these purposes. Hands off security involves no touching unless the officer is attacked, the officer is allowed to respond with force only when there is an imminent danger created by the assailant. So what situations require use of force? Number one: imminent threats. Assaults in progress always call for a use of force, or the retreat of the aggressor. Security officers

Power has been a problem since the beginning of time, and continues to this day to be a problem. While many struggle for it, many struggle against it. In the same many fear power and many fear not having it. There are many examples for this in just

The psychologists believe that individual’s behaviour is linked with the inner thoughts and self-image. The idea is that due to free will people change often. It is humans’ responsibility on how their well-being and lives carry on. This is because we are capable of striving to achieve the best, self-actualisation desire.

“The first thing you must realise is that power is collective. The individual only has power in so far as he ceases to be an individual.” (Orwell).

The theory that I will discuss for my essay is called psychological positivism. Psychological positivism is a theory, which suggest that there is criminal personality that resides in the minds of the criminals. The theory was designed by Austrian neurologist called Sigmund Freud. He believed that some people committed crime due to certain internal factors that one had little or no control over. These internal factors can be formed due to lack of parental love or it can also be formed if an individual has suffered a tragedy in the past which can lead to an individual committing crime. Sigmund Feud also believed that there are more than one aspects to human personality. These aspects are id, ego and superego which developed over time in different stages in one’s life. The first thing that is developed in human personality is the id. It is a biological component of the personality, which include human’s basics. The id is our most primitive need gratification impulses. The second interacting force that is developed in our nature is called superego, which exist in all three of our consciousness. Superego is the higher power of our mind that is concerned with what is socially acceptable. The third and the last aspect of our personality is called ego which only exist in conscious and preconscious minds. The ego feature of our personality works according to reality principle. The reality principle is the idea that the

In this essay I shall compare James Scott’s theory of power and resistance with Michel Foucault’s, as in what similarities do they share in their structure of theories; and contrast the difference as in their understanding of power, position they take to look for/into power, exercise of power and resistance in response. By contrasting the two approaches on the subject of power and resistance, I shall argue, if one wish to look for the powerful and the weak, Scott’s approach is the go to. But for now, I find Foucault’s idea more plausible that we are surrounded by or inescapable from power, and that by any means, are not necessarily forced to submission; rather as freedom the same time.

power in its many forms and modes of application” (Foucault, p. 141). He explains that

This article focus on the definition of power what is power, examining the phenomenon of powerful and the powerless. This will help my essay in explaining that power is not owned, one can’t simply own power but it is rather given.

Some people may say that having control over someone or something can bring satisfaction and a sense of power. In the an article called “Gunman Kills Himself After Hostage Drama (584)” written by Charles P. Wallace and Tim Waters loss of control and the feeling of being helplessness makes Robert B. Rose commit a last act of asserting control over himself. In another article written by Martin E.P. Seligman called “On Learned Helplessness (585)” the feeling of loosing control of oneself is something that can cause someone to do things that they thought they would never do. What is hard to understand is that some of the things the someone may commit may implicate the lives of others in a negative way and the ending result could be death.

When one recognizes that they are 100% responsible for their life, they will soon see the great achievements that come with being a responsible person. Responsibility is a very valuable trait in all that we do. Taking responsibility for one’s self leads to a more optimistic life and one is able to accomplish all that they want. Sometimes taking responsibility can be a very difficult thing, but in the end one is usually happy that they did. If one chose’s to lead an irresponsible life, they will soon see that they will be living a much uncontrolled life and therefore grow to be very pessimistic. One’s health is also affected by the choices one makes. When we choose
